Re: Did the OBX headers fit or what???
Why did it look as if the D/S header hung lower than the P/S in one of the previous posts? I am assuming these are 2" primaries?

Re: Did the OBX headers fit or what???
How hard are the headers to install? Are all the bolts accessible and what type of bolts are those that you used?
thanks

Re: Did the OBX headers fit or what???
I just bought a set of OBX's and I plan to have them Jet Hot coated.

Re: Did the OBX headers fit or what???
I installed a set of OBX, with WAZOO help, on a 94. I love them!
I had a chance to compare OBX to SW side by side. All tube bends are pretty much identical. Only difference is OBX collectors are about 10" forward and OBX comes w/ glasspacks that looks like metallic cats. These glass packs can be replaced w/ metallic cats if needed w/ minor mod. Cats should work better since being closer to exhaust ports should heat up better. Quality is as good as any other headers I have seen. |

Did the dip stick tube need relocated for OBX?

Re: Did the OBX headers fit or what???
I assumed that it would since we used a relocation piece when we did the last install which was SW.
Yes - I used a relocation bracket and all went smoothly. Also used Stage 8 bolts. By the way -do yourself a favor and get a set of gaskets from Jerry's. OBX gaskets are 8 rectangular individual pieces - one per port. Got to be a real PITA to use. |

Thanks for the tips. Pete will be doing the install, so I bet he already has a parts list for me to buy.

Re: Did the OBX headers fit or what???
Hey Kevin, why would you look for a used set...they sure arent going to be any cheaper than these. The way I see it, a company that makes a quality product at an affordable price is a win win for all. why not support them?
Secondchance, thanks for the tips and report.. These are definitely on the buy list as soon as I get the top end finished.
